But what happens if these nutrients can't be transported because we are lymphaticlly congested, for example? Congestion that can be seen through lack of sediment in urine, among other things. If the bowel walls, again, made up of a bunch of fluid surrounding the cells, is congested, we get malabsorption because these nutrients can't be transported effectively.
I think of blood as the kitchen and the lymphatic system as the sewer system, with the lymph nodes acting as the septic tanks. When the sewer system backs up, it's not going to matter how much food is in the kitchen so it's not as simple as targeting the blood and everything will correct itself, not that that is what you are implying. I'm just trying to address what it feels like the article/Kopp is sort of doing.
The lymphatic gland is important, and I profess ignorance about it as I don't think it is being given enough attention. It is very much a black box to me. But I also have to narrow my scope given the complexity of our body. Now that you have mentioned it, I have to assume my lymphatics are working within normal bounds, and with that assumption, I could narrow my scope so that I can work with what I understand so far. This may seem like me looking for my contact lenses where there is more light, and not where I dropped it. But that is all I've got now.
If I fail to resolve my issues with this approach, I could always go back and revisit my assumptions. And then proceed. Otherwise, I would not have a system or methodology to finally uncover what ails me. I would be so overwhelmed that I would not know where to begin.
